Didn't Johnny Olsen, start the whole "Come on Down?" I used to love The Price is Right. I feel really bad for Rod Roddy...I thought he had gone in to remission, I think he had colon cancer.
I haven't been able to watch the Price is Right for years, because of the whole Diane Parkinson sex scandal with Bob Barker, and then he fired all the regular models, I loved Holly and Janice..I thought that was really low what happened, and then he hired all those fake women as his "beauties"..when I was a kid I loved being sick from school, so I could stay at home, and watch the Price is Right.. just like everything else, it turned in to one big mess. The only thing that was good to see, was what Rod Roddy was wearing-he was so colorful..what a shame.
